Setting Delays and Opening new Form, Closing old forms in GUI

Hi all

Is there a way to create a delay (example: 3sec) for a button after pressed in GUI1?

Also, how should I open a new form (GUI2) and close the GUI1 from previous with a button?

you can set a 3 second delay by (this does pause matlab entirely though):

 pause(3)

you can open a new gui using:

 GuiFunction(input1,input2,etc...)

where GuiFunction is the function name of GUI2

You can close a current gui using:

 delete(handles.figure1);

where figure1 is the label of the current figure window (belonging to gui1).

hi Wouter

for open a new gui, what do you mean by input1,input2,etc...?

because, let's say i have a simple plain GUI1, with a pushbutton (Next) for which it will close GUI1 and open GUI2 with a delay of 3 sec.

haha ok i have just tried and found out that input1 and input2 and etc is not needed for me thus i leave it () empty instead to open new form gui2. once again thanks a lot for the tips!!!
